Planning Approved for 90 New Homes at Redbridge Quay,
Part of the Wirral Waters Development Scheme

Forshaw Land & Property Group have partnered with developer Qualis Developments, to deliver 90 high quality homes in Redbridge Quay. In addition, the development is part of the Wirral Waters development scheme, which is currently one of the largest regeneration projects in the UK. Meanwhile, the construction work is to be carried out by Forshaw Construction.

Wirral Waters regeneration master plan represents a significant step into the large-scale, design-led residential communities market for Forshaw, and cements their ongoing growth across the North West.

Redbridge Quay, situated on the historic Birkenhead waterfront is a major part of Peel Waters long-term vision to develop Peel’s land assets into an exciting, vibrant and sustainable mixed-use waterfront location. Furthermore, demonstrating a shared ambition to develop homes which add value to local areas, sensitive to the heritage and integrity of the surrounding area. As a result, Forshaw and Qualis are moving forward with the development which will drive rejuvenation, attract investment, and provide required new housing stock for the area.

The second phase of the Redbridge Quay development will be built adjacent to the recently revitalized East Float Quay, which features the Grade II listed former grain warehouses. In addition, this area will incorporate dockside walkways, new public realm space, a new pocket park, and green landscaping.

The Transformation of Wirral Waters

Wirral Waters plan also encompasses 500 acres of former dockland on the Wirral Peninsula transforming the former docks into a sustainable, mixed use development serving the North West.

At the heart of this regeneration is Redbridge Quay. Specifically a brand new residential address within a neighbourhood that will be a leading waterside area. Furthermore, the 90-unit project will bring to market a collection of contemporary homes which have been designed to maximise the views across the dock and further redefine this part of the waterfront as a modern and exciting place for people to live.

With the backing of Peel Waters, the development hopes to provide:

• High-quality modern homes
• Sustainable, brownfield-led development
• Community-driven placemaking
• Long-term economic and social stimulus for Birkenhead

Forshaw and Qualis, who together have several decades of property experience, will ensure that the lifestyle offered by the homes at Redbridge Quay are finished to the highest standard.

The architectural design is inspired by both Victorian terraces and grade two-listed grain warehouses. This influence is evident in features such as double-height rooms and open-plan living spaces.

The Wirral Waterfront

Wirral is increasingly attracting demand from families, young professionals and downsizers all seeking modern, well-connected new homes in green surroundings with waterfront views. As a result, Redbridge Quay is directly addressing this demand, by unlocking exciting new homes for people to live in one of the hottest regeneration areas across the region.

It also ensures substantial, long-terms benefits for the local region that are not officially part of the project itself:

• Employment generated during construction phase
• Increased investment into Wirral’s economy
• Backs transformation in Birkenhead area
• Utilisation of brown field land, transforming it into an active residential community

Forshaw and Qualis are committed to continue consultations with local partners, ensuring the development will benefit the greater community that they are a part of.

The Future

Redbridge Quay is a significant milestone on Forshaw Land & Property’s continued expansion and commitment to delivering outstanding homes in areas with genuine potential. Moreover, the joint venture with Qualis Developments represents the high ambitions of both partners, to bring new life and community into a brownfield site alongside Wirral waterfront.

As construction timelines move forward, Forshaw will provide more updates on design, milestones and community engagement.

It is not just a housing project but the building of an entirely new neighbourhood which will help define the Wirral waterfront for decades to come.
